4X 6w JSB ex emergency fitting
Earlier in the year I completed a quad 8w conversion, and previous to that I also completed a twin 4w, triple 4w, twin 6w and triple 6w, so to continue that trend I thought it would be good to try and create a quad 6w conversion.

I received the (ex) emergency light required from Jon a few months ago. Originally for a single 6w tube, its a very oversized affair of a light for what it is, and having no decals on it makes it look even more of a pointless size. Despite this, it proved more than ideal to accept what I had in mind for it, and begun to measure up and create two brackets with which to mount the eight lamp holders and four starter sockets to. Once they were made, I fitted it all together to make sure it all fit properly and looked right, and then stripped the whole light down to respray it. Once it had dried enough (so I thought...) I was able to reassemble and wire up, something that took hours once again due to the complexity of the design.

Powered up, its a brilliantly bright light as expected, and with the diffuser on, no bright spots can be observed. The fittings been wired so the top tubes are one circuit, and the lower tubes are on another circuit. With how big and spaced out the lamps are, the fitting remains really cool whilst in use, so no worries about the plastic turning yellow over time. Of course, eventually I plan to install this in the lanterns shed along with all the other multi tube bulkheads, it would definitely be rude not to.
